Revolutions

How long can we pretend for?
 We're the land of the free
 Ask yourself some simple questions
 Things aren't what they seem
 We all need someone to hold
 We all need to have a home
 We all need to speak our hearts
 We all need a little love
 Each of us has the power
 To change the course we're on
 A fire burns within us
 Brighter than the sun
 "We've got some difficult days ahead.
 But it really doesn't matter with me now.
 Because I've been to the mountaintop, and I don't mind.
 Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.
 Longevity has its place.
 But I'm not concerned about that now.
 I just want to do God's will.
 He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
 And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land.
 I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight,
 That we, as a people, will get to the promised land!"
 We all need someone to hold
 We all need to have a home
 We all need to speak our hearts
 We all need a little love
 I declare my insurrection
 To the home of the brave
 I will not surrender
 Until the world is free
 We all need someone to hold
 We all need to have a home
 We all need to speak our hearts
 We all need a little love
 "They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me.
 Then they will have my dead body... not my obedience."
